“Jennifer was amazing, incredibly patient and met with us before we boarded our son with her. She provided so many updates and addressed all of our needs and special requests with Ludo, and we would not hesitate to book her again. She truly worked to get to know Ludo to give him the best care possible.”
“Denise took very good care of our Munsy. She is a very nice person and it is easy to tell she truly loves pets. Great communication throughout the entire process and she even sent us a few pictures of Munsy showing how happy our dog was. We highly recommend Denise if your dog needs a sitter.”
“Yaina was wonderful! We are so happy to have found her! She sent us videos and pictures of our dog during the stay. Yaina kept us updated and made me feel at ease that our dog was being well taken cared of.”
“Sadie had the very best time with Delmy & family! They sent pictures/videos the entire time and Sadie was so happy in all of them. 10/10 would recommend and I will be using them again”
“Sara is a wonderful dog sitter, and I feel so lucky to have her taking care of Cosmo. She's incredibly thoughtful, caring, and attentive with him, and her whole family is amazing. Cosmo always has the best time with them! Sara is also extremely reliable and flexible, making everything so easy and stress-free for me. I couldn't recommend her more highly”
“Diana and her family were amazing with our Sophie. She kept us informed on a regular basis as to how our pup was doing in addition to providing us with several awesome photos. We would highly recommend her to friends and family and look forward to using her services in the future.”
“Just an incredible experience. Michelle was a pleasure to have dog sit Hero. She sent tons of pictures and videos and also gave Hero a bath! I would recommend her to anyone. 10/10.”
“Vanessa is incredible. The whole family loved our dogs like they were their own. She was communicative and flexible - truly couldn’t ask for a better experience.”
“Brenda was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. She constantly kept me updated with messages, pictures, and videos, which meant so much and really helped me relax while I was away. It was so clear that my dog was being well cared for. Brenda was always taking her on walks and spending time playing with her. When I picked her up, of course my baby missed me, but I could truly tell she had formed such a loving bond with Brenda. It was obvious that my dog adored her, and that Brenda genuinely loved her right back. Finding someone you trust with your dog isn’t easy, but Brenda exceeded every expectation. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and loving sitter!”
“Like most people, I was very nervous about leaving my dogs with someone while I was away. However, from the moment I met Alissa I knew my two babies would be okay. She spent a lot of time with us during our initial meet and greet. She answered all our questions and allowed our dogs to hang out in her backyard and just really reassured us that she will love them the same way we do. She communicated regularly while we were gone and sent pictures and videos. What I also appreciated is that she is flexible with drop off and pick up times. So instead of our dogs staying another night, we were able to pick them up on our way home from our trip. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.”
“Isabella did a great job with Oscar. He was extremely well cared for; she sent frequent, wonderful photos, and he had a great time spending time with her attentive family. Oscar was returned as one happy dog! I can't recommend her more highly!”
About: Animals are family here! I provide patient, loving care tailored to each animal’s personality, routine, and comfort level, with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. I have experience working with rescue organizations and offer foster care to animals requiring special attention. Currently in service dog training courses with my Australian Shepard. I work from home most days, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m only away from home for about six hours on two days each week. Outside of work, I spend much of my time with my animals, gardening, and enjoying our little homestead—especially when the weather is nice! I have a fully fenced yard plus a separate secured area for my chickens. My own dogs, cats, and chickens live here, but visiting pets are always supervised and safely separated when needed.
“Sarah abs her family were amazing. She kept us up to date with texts, photos and videos every day. She paid special attention to every detail about our pups and gave us some excellent tips on modifying certain behaviors. We would definitely recommend her without hesitation.”

I am home all day to provide playtime with your pet. I am new to listing on Rover, and have in the past only went by recommendation. I am home all day, work part time from my home office. I am fully attentive to your pet. I feature walks, playtime, yard play, and provide a caring, loving environment. I have a friendly Shih-Tzu, no kids in the house. I have a fully fenced very large yard and a super friendly female shih tzu to play with your baby. It is a fun, safe environment. Hope to hear from you.
“Yessenia was absolutely lovely to work with. She answered any questions we had as first time Rover customers in order to put us at ease. We could see from the first interaction that she would be kind to our dog, as she immediately got down and gave her hand to the dog to sniff and then pet her. She has a daughter with a sweet and gentle personality, who kindly shared her own blanket with the dog to make the dog feel more comfortable. Yessenia‘s husband was friendly and pleasant as well. Yessenia sent us multiple pictures and updates over the weekend while she watched the dog. Though we brought some supplies, she was also prepared with her own if necessary. Furthermore, since Yesenia had already experienced life with a senior dog, she offered us some suggestions that might help with our pup. Our Rusty had never been cared for by a stranger up to this point. It was hard for us to leave her. That said, we would not only highly recommend Yessenia and her family to other dog owners, we will definitely reach out to Yessenia again if we need someone to board the dog. She even included a lovely note about the experience. Her thoughts were genuine, and it was nice for us to be reminded about the beauty of our dog whom we see every day.”
“Caroline was amazing with our pup! Not only was she able to fit us in last minute when we were in a pinch, but she made my pup feel so at home in her home while we were out of town. Not having to worry about your pup while you’re out of town because you know they are being cared for and loved by someone makes it so much easier to go away.”
“Our cat Journey had a delightful time at Joanne’s for a long weekend. We were impressed with the clear communication, lovely home environment, and delightful family that took such great care of him. We highly recommend Joanne and will not hesitate to use her again when were visiting family in the area.”
“Thomasina was amazing at caring for our dog Lila! From the moment Lila first entered her home, she was calm and at ease and we knew she'd have a wonderful stay. We got plenty of adorable pictures and updates! Thanks for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Dilania is the best sitter we’ve had so far. She is super friendly and her dogs are such delights! Her yard is very big so the dogs had so much space to play and run around. She is also very understanding and took care of Ghost as if he were her own. We will definitely continue to use Dilania as our sitter.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Melville is $60

We had such a great experience with Annabelle watching our Luca! This was our first time leaving him with a dog sitter who wasn’t family or a close friend, and our first time using Rover. Annabelle made the entire experience so easy and reassuring. She had great communication from our initial meet-and-greet through the entire stay and sent us pictures of Luca throughout, which really put us at ease. Luca absolutely loved running around in her backyard and even got to sleep in bed with her, just like he does at home! It was clear that he was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. Thanks again Annabelle!!
We had the pleasure of having Trin take care of our 4-year-old Golden Retriever for the second time, and once again, she was absolutely amazing! We felt so comfortable and at ease knowing he was in her care. Trin kept us updated with pictures and videos, which we loved, and she even went the extra mile and celebrated his birthday with him by giving him a birthday cake! 🎂🐶❤️ It’s clear how much love, attention, and care she gives to the pets she watches. We were so happy and pleased with the entire experience and will definitely be trusting Trin with our fur baby again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family!

95% of sitters in Melville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Melville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Melville.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Melville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
